I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 528 Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns.

Song Dahai and his wife sat for a while and then left. Fang Qingye escorted them to the entrance of the courtyard before returning.

It was still early for bed, so the couple snuggled up on the sofa and watched TV.

Love Apartment 3.

Although it wasn't the premiere, the two watched it with great interest.

The episode of the TV series I watched today was about Zi Qiao searching for a girl who could make his heart flutter. He asked Zhan Bo to help him with high-tech equipment, but after dating 100 girls, none of them could make his heart flutter. Then, by chance, Zi Qiao discovered that the girl who could make his heart flutter was actually Mei Jia, who lived in the same apartment as him in "iPartment". Their relationship became complicated.

Seeing this, Fang Qingye recalled the chat that Song Dahai and his wife had just had, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Some people said back then that Chen Meimei was not good enough for Song Dahai, since Dahai was the son of the richest man and Chen Meimei's family was of average means. But look at her now, Chen Meimei is truly a virtuous wife. Dahai made the right choice!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Ou retorted, "Da Hai wouldn't be any worse off than Qian Xiaoli. You saw that when Kerry Group was in its most difficult time, Qian Xiaoli personally came to help and even lent Da Hai funds! Besides, Qian Xiaoli also has the support of Tenglong Group!"

"Oh my, Bai Ou, you're still standing up for your best friend?" Fang Qingye laughed.

"Of course! Look at us, we're all married now, but Xiaoli is still single, sigh." Bai Ou sighed.

Yes
The well-known rich second-generation in Nanxincheng are gradually getting married, and at the same time, they are shouldering their respective responsibilities.

Song Dahai became the chairman and general manager of Kerry Group, Qian Xiaoli officially took over as general manager of Tenglong Group, and Qian Weimin stepped down to a behind-the-scenes role. Li Le also succeeded his father as general manager of Shengtai Industrial.

Even the former playboy Shi Yong has returned to his father's company, serving as the assistant general manager of Linyuan Company, and has begun to get involved in company affairs.
And then there are Liu Dong, Wang Lei, Yan Hua, and other children from ordinary families, who have all gotten married, become fathers, key members of their workplaces, or even leaders.

Whether you like it or not, the burdens of work and life will fall on your shoulders.

Seeing her husband suddenly fall into deep thought, Bai Ou glanced at him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Fang Qingye came to her senses: "I just feel that everyone has grown up. Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns."

Bai Ou laughed upon hearing this: "Ha, I don't see any changes in you at all!"

"I?"

"Look at you, you still prefer drinking tea, fishing, and being lazy, just like you were a few years ago," Bai Ou said with a chuckle.

Huh? Fang Qingye gently tapped the white lotus root.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You promised Da Hai you'd meet with Director Yang of the Construction Bank in the city, so don't mess things up," Bai Ou reminded him.

"No, tomorrow is the weekend, I'll have time. I'll call tomorrow," Fang Qingye replied.

"Ye Zi, I've heard you say that you know Director Yang, or was it through your former Director Xia who introduced you?" Bai Ou suddenly asked.

“Yes, once when our alumni from Shencai University had a gathering in Jinghai, Director Xia took me there. I not only met Director Yang, but also Lei Ming, the deputy director of the Municipal People’s Bank. We are also alumni.” Fang Qingye answered frankly.

"Oh, President Xia was eventually transferred back to the provincial branch. Is he still working there now?" Bai Ou asked, looking at him.

"No, I heard he went to New York to serve as the vice president of a newly established branch of Oriental Bank. Bai Ou, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"No, it's nothing, I was just asking," Bai Ou replied, stretching. "Alright, let's take a shower and get ready for bed."

"Great idea, shall we take a bath together?" Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"No way! We'll each wash our own! Aren't there two bathrooms?" Bai Ou said, standing up.

Why.
They're an old married couple, what didn't they see?

Fang Qingye also stood up.

The next day at noon, Fang Qingye called Yang Kehua, the president of the city's Construction Bank, to ask if he had time to visit her.

"Hehe, President Fang, you must be a very busy person, right? Not only are you the president of Jinghai Bank, but you also own several other companies," Yang Kehua said with a laugh over the phone.

"So busy!" Of course, I couldn't answer like that in front of Yang Kehua. I smiled and said that even though I was busy, I still wanted to see him.

"President Fang, I know you don't come here unless you have a reason. Is there something you need?"

"It's something."

Fang Qingye gave a brief introduction to the Kerry Group, and then said, "The current chairman of the Kerry Group is my childhood friend. Of course I want to help him when he is in trouble. Unfortunately, my Jinghai Bank is too small to compare with your five major banks, and the funds I can lend are limited. So I hope that the Construction Bank can also lend money. I am not very familiar with the branch manager Zhang of the Construction Bank in our county, so I came to you, senior."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Kehua hesitated for a moment before asking, "So, what is the current operational and financial situation of the Kerry Group?"

"We've weathered the crisis and are gradually returning to normal," Fang Qingye replied. "How about this, I'll have my childhood friend bring some company documents and materials to meet you. You can talk face-to-face and ask him any questions you may have."

"Haha. So this is your real purpose, isn't it? How can we refuse when President Fang has spoken? Alright! Let's set the date for tomorrow afternoon."

“Okay, President Yang, I’ll arrange the details. I’ll send you a text message once it’s booked,” Fang Qingye said.

"can!"

Fang Qingye hung up the phone and gave Bai Ou, who was next to her, an "OK" sign.

"Go tomorrow, but drink less alcohol," Bai Ou only reminded her of this.

"Don't worry, there's the ocean, and besides, I'm not a key player this time," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

The next afternoon, Fang Qingye and Song Dahai each took a car to Jinghai city and booked a table at the "Yunshang Bieyuan" in Zhongnan Century City to entertain Yang Kehua.

Besides eating and drinking, Song Dahai took the opportunity to tell Yang Kehua about his company in detail.

"President Yang, this is our group's latest financial statement. The county has also approved our resumption of normal operations. This is the county's meeting minutes."

"Also, these are our company's compliance documents for five projects, proof of project progress, proof of ownership of the collateral, and proof of the use of funds."

Song Dahai took out the documents one by one.

Yang Kehua looked at it carefully for a while and said, "President Song, how about this, I'll have Director Wu, who is in charge of the Nanxin branch, take another look tomorrow when we get to work. If there are no problems, then the Nanxin branch can approve the loan for you!"

"Thank you, President Yang." Song Dahai was overjoyed.

With China Construction Bank, the leading bank in the real estate sector, the loan problem is completely solved.

"Hehe, you're welcome. President Fang personally brought you here, so I can't let you leave empty-handed, can I?"

That evening, after dinner, President Yang left by car, and Fang Qingye and the other person also returned to Nanxin.

Two years ago, Song Dahai would definitely have dragged Fang Qingye and his two buddies to Jinghai for another round of fun, and then rushed back to Nanxin in the middle of the night or the next morning.

But he's lost interest in it now.

Go back to sleep now, there's a ton of stuff to do tomorrow.

By the end of July, Nanxin had emerged from the rainy season and entered the height of summer. DJI sent an inspection team to return to Nanxin for on-site inspection.

DJI's top management attached great importance to this inspection. Wang Tao personally led the team, which included more than a dozen people such as Lu Di, to conduct an inspection of various aspects, including geographical conditions, infrastructure, human resources, and the local political and business environment.

Bai Ou will also be rushing back to Nanxin from Shanghai. She is both a resident of Nanxin and a director of DJI, and will accompany the inspection throughout the process.

Fang Qingye will not accompany them, but he will still participate in the formal receptions and social obligations as a sign of respect for each other.

Unexpectedly, the day before the DJI inspection team arrived in Nanxin, he suddenly received a call from Qiao Yongfeng, who hoped that he could go to Yanjing with him.

A leader at the central bank wanted to meet him.
